Brake caliper compatability

[Slim777]

Hi, I have a 1994 Trident Sprint and need a front Nissin caliper, am I right in thinking one off the Trophy would fit? The pic on ebay looks the same as mine, just after confirmation before buying.
Cheers

Ask about / check the distance between the centres of the mounting bolts.

Earlier Sprints and Trophys had 2 piston caliper with fixed discs - later models had 4 pistons and floating discs if that much is the same you should be ok but don't try putting fixed disc calipers on floating discs or vise versa - hope that helps

If you have floating rotors it might be a good time to upgrade to the 6 piston Hayabusa calipers.

I agree - thats what I did - what a difference!

Some Tokico calipers on eBay right now.

The seller mentions that they fit some Triumphs, but still worth checking the mounting bolt centres.
